Simple by design
How ScrambleSpot works
Choose the path that fits what you’re here to do. Most actions start with either finding an available spot or posting the spots your team needs to fill.
Looking to play?

Find a team that fits your schedule and location, then ask the captain to join.

See each golfer’s message and reliability history, then accept or decline the request.

When the roster is full, confirm the final team. ScrambleSpot shares contact details only with accepted golfers.

Quick answers
Common questions
Is ScrambleSpot free?
Yes. ScrambleSpot currently connects golfers and team captains without charging a service fee. Tournament registration and entry fees are handled outside ScrambleSpot.
Do I register or pay for the tournament here?
No. Every opening includes a public tournament-detail link. Confirm the official rules, registration status and payment arrangements with the tournament or captain.
When is my contact information shared?
Your contact information stays private while a request is pending. It is shared between the captain and golfer only after the request is accepted.
Can I withdraw a request?
Yes. You can withdraw a pending or accepted request from your dashboard. ScrambleSpot records cancellations so both sides have a clear history.
What happens when a team is full?
The opening stops accepting additional golfers. The captain then confirms the final roster, and the completed team moves to Matches.
Can a captain decline a request?
Yes. Captains choose who joins their team and provide a reason when declining. A declined golfer can continue searching for another spot.
How do search alerts work?
Run a search, select the email-alert option and save it. ScrambleSpot emails you when a newly published opening matches those dates and location settings. Alerts can be paused, edited or deleted from your dashboard.
What if my course is missing?
Use Request a Course from the posting workflow. You can still enter the course manually for that opening while the directory request is reviewed.
How do attendance reports and reviews work?
After an event, participants confirm what happened and may leave feedback. If you believe a report or review is wrong, you can dispute it from your dashboard for admin review.
Save your search and ScrambleSpot will email you when a matching opening is published.
